From Jennifer Potter
Bud worked with the Goodwill Games executive team on management issues during our two year sprint from 1988 to 1990. He was a huge help to me as I undertook the biggest and scariest job I had had to date—and his words have stayed with me through the intervening 20 years. He would start team sessions by asking “what do you hope for and what are you afraid of?” as a way to smoke out our innermost thoughts. He also said “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got” as a way to move people out of familiar territory and into unfamiliar. I haven’t seen Bud and Kathy in recent years, but Kathy, my thoughts are with you. You were a very special couple and I’m sorry we didn’t have more time together. I hope your wonderful memories of Bud will bring you a measure of comfort. I send my deepest sympathy.
